Growing pains hurt and in them we have a choice on how to work through them.

It was a harsh reality signing my son up for a sport and him not getting poured into the way we had hoped. We learned and grew along side our son in a way we hadn’t expected. Peter and I encouraged him to try his best at each game and took this as a learning opportunity.

Our soccer season for my son was a tough season for him and for me as a mom. If you know me I am super sensitive when it comes to quality for my children.
He didn’t get a month of practice at the end of the season. It was hard watching him push through when he didn’t want to be there. But my son learned a life lesson. He learned how to react when those can’t fully commit. He learned no matter what, mom and dad are his biggest cheerleaders, and we are there to work through the frustration’s together. My child worked through disappointment, and confusion. We are not raising our children to avoid obstacles in life. Seasons in life are hard and this was a family team effort. This is only the beginning. There will be more seasons in life that will become harder and obstacles to climb. My children know they don’t have to do it alone.
